Aisa Yeh Jahaan
Aisa Yeh Jahaan is 2015 India’s First Carbon Neutral Film
directed by Biswajeet Bora and produced by Maya Kholie. The film stars Palash
Sen, Ira Dubey and Kymsleen Kholie in lead roles, with Yashpal Sharma (actor),
Tinu Anand, Carol Gracias, Prisha Dabbas and Saurabh Pandey in supporting
roles.
The film has an interesting plot. The film is set in
Mumbai. It depicts the relationship between a husband and wife, the ever
growing human detachment with nature and people’s attitude towards the
physiology of a child’s growth which is portrayed in a lighthearted yet
satirical fashion.
Rajib works for a multinational company and is far apart
in terms of his nature from his wife, Ananya, who is a receptionist at a private
firm. On the other hand, Kuhi, their three-year-old daughter, and Pakhi, the
domestic help of the house, share a relationship based on innocence and pure
emotions. Pakhi takes good care of Kuhi when Rajib and Ananya are away at work
during the day.
The whole family plans a vacation to their hometown in
Assam. There, Kuhi gets to know Nalia Kai, the helper of the house, who
introduces her to a new world – a world of trees, birds, greenery, paddy fields
and the environment at large. There she realizes the difference between the
concrete world of Mumbai and the natural environment of her father’s hometown.
She also fears that one day the people of Mumbai would not have air to breathe,
as she learns that we get oxygen from trees. This compels her to question the
scarcity of trees in Mumbai.
The film has Dr. Palash Sen as Mr Rajib Saikia, Ira Dubey
- Mrs. Ananya Saikia, Yashpal Sharma (actor) - Nalia Kai (Domestic help of Mr.
Saikia's household), Kymsleen Kholie – Pakhi, Tinu Anand - Mr. Majid Khan
